Answer 1

I used to raise Pomeranians in the 1970's.. they are wonderful companion dogs, if you get one from a decent breeder, but never from a pet shop or puppy mill..
they adapt to many situations, from apartment living, to enjoying hiking and camping..
It is very important to get them out a meeting new people and other small dogs from the time they are fully vaccinated, so they don't become fearful and yappy..
They are bred from herding dogs, and always want their family near, and together..they are not a good choice for anyone who can't spend most of the day with them..
the ones who are snappy and yappy are the ones that have not been socialized as puppies...

show your friend this site first, as her perfect Pom might just be waiting for her..Just put in yur own zip code to find the pups nearest you> http://search.petfinder.com/search/search.cgi?action=1&pet.Animal=Dog&pet.Breed=pomeranian&pet.Age=Young&pet.Size=&pet.Sex=&location=TN&preview=1&scope=0&x=13&y=9

Answer 2

Hi we have a Pom & Poms can be very sweet but there are also in some cases not to sociable...however it is down to how much we put into a dog as to how much we can get out of a dog...by socializing a puppy amongst other dogs & people...

Even if that means waiting until he/she as had all their shot & going to sit in a local training school so they get used to other dogs,noises & people...this is always good start to a well adjusted pooch...

When you go for a puppy you must also take into consideration the temprements of the parents,also how the puppies interact with you when you go to see any you might be looking at with a view to buy..

Most of dog problems are man made issues thru bad management,a lack of socializing,training & due care that a dog needs...

So most of the answers lay with the owners more than with the breeds...There are a lot of good dogs but there are a lot of bad owners/handlers...Regards Jake

Basic Training of the Puppy - Read here https://tr.im/crAOY

The new puppy is certainly one of the most adorable and cuddly creatures that has ever been created. It is the most natural thing in the world to shower it with love and affection. However, at the same time it is important to realize that if you want to have a well trained adult dog, you need to begin the training process right away. The dog, like its related ancestor, the wolf, is a pack animal. One of the features of a pack is that it has a single dominant leader. Your new puppy is going to want that leader to be you, but if you do not assume that role from the very beginning, the puppy’s instincts will push him to become the leader.

The most important thing to remember about training the puppy during its first six months of life is that it must see you as the leader of the family pack. The essential thing is gaining the trust and the respect of the puppy from the beginning. You will not do this by allowing the puppy to do whatever it wants to do whenever it wants to do it. On the other hand, a certain amount of patience is required. Most people err in their early training by going to extremes one way or the other. Although you need to begin the basic training process at once, you can not expect your dog to do too much at first. Basic obedience training is fine and should include simple commands like sit, stay, and come. Remember that trying to teach the dog advanced obedience techniques when it is a puppy is much like trying to teach a five year old child algebra.

It is also important to restrain from cruel or abusive treatment of the puppy. You can not beat obedience into your dog, and it certainly is not going to engender feeling of respect and trust. House breaking is an area where this usually becomes a problem because of the anger that is triggered when the puppy fails and creates a mess inside the home. Although this issue must be addressed without anger, it most be addressed. If you allow the puppy to eliminate inside the house, it will continue to do so as an adult dog. The same thing is true of other destructive or dangerous behavior such as chewing and biting. Do not expect the puppy to grow out of it. You are going to need to train the puppy out of it, but you should do so firmly but with a sense of play and fun using positive reinforcement and lots of love and praise for good behavior.

Please do no longer think of of having a Pomeranian in case you desire a canine to hold around and take care of like a doll and not a canine. Pomeranians are bred down from 35 pound sled and herding canine and maximum of them hold that capability and tension. those that take care of Poms like they have not any legs and no brains land up having the neurotic, yappy Pomneranian maximum of persons look to understand. I particpate in Agility and Obedience and Pomeranians are certainly one of my breeds of decision. Pomeranians are like all different Spitz breed. they are clever, yet desire an proprietor who's smarter then they are. they'll luckily be the only in cost with all and sundry yet a savvy canine proprietor. they do no longer look to be person-friendly to coach for somebody who has little to no canine adventure. Pomeranians require a great style of grooming besides. final yet no longer least the breed has countless wellness themes. in basic terms take care of a breeder who does all wellness exams proper for the breed which will contain Patellas. (Patella issues are effortless and value approximately $4000 to appropriate). As for cost, any Pomeranian priced below $a million,000 is going to come again from a outdoor breeder. stay far flung from that or you will land up paying 1000's upon 1000's greater in vet charges.

Answer 5

They are wonderful little dogs. Loyal, affectionate, smart, funny, so eager to please. Mine loved children until my brother's children were mean to her; now she hides from them. She loves all of our cats and our other dog. She is the sweetest little girl ever. If you have a choice, pick out one that is very quiet, alert and curious, and not afraid when you pick it up. We have had good luck with females. She is yippy at times if she hears a noise, but never has been aggressive with anyone. She loves to sit on laps and sleep with us in the bed. She knows lots of words and signals and gestures. Very easily trained, but we had an older dog to help potty-train her when she was a young pup.

Answer 6

HI, I HAVE 2 POMS AND A FEW CHIHUAHUAS, AS YOU NO THEY ARE FROM THE TOY GROUP OF BREEDS. THEY ARE VERY AFFECTIONATE AND SWEET. THEY ARE EASY TO TRAIN FROM A YOUNG AGE, MANY YEARS AGO THEY WERE USED IN CIRCUS AS THEY PERFORMED WELL WITH TRICKS. THEY ARE THE SAME AS MOST DOGS IF YOU PUT TIME AND EFFORT INTO THERE UP BRINGING- IE, TAKING FOR WALKS FROM EARLY ON, MEETING OTHER PEOPLE AND DOGS, YOU CANT GO FAR WRONG. THEY LOVE TO LAY ON YOUR LAP, AND IN GENERAL A GREAT DOG

Answer 7

I would never own a Pom. I've known a few of them and only one out of the four that I have known, had a good temperment. The others snapped and bit. (and they were from different homes)
I wouldn't reccommend them for a family with small children for this reason. They are very cute though.

Answer 9

My mom had one she was a very sweet dog. She yapped alot though but was sweet and lovable. She was pretty good about going potty outside but had a few accidents every now and then.

Answer 10

Extremely sociable, very easily trainable...

And the best part is, you can take them to the groomer and tell them you want a "lion cut", and when you pick your dog back up, it'll look so cool! Just like a tiny lion.

Please, please, please get one!
